CELEBRATION DETAILS

Songkran, means “Festival of Pouring Water”. Thai people believe that by pouring water during this time…anything bad in our lives will be flushed away, and we will be blessed in the New Year. In keeping with this tradition, guests at Bangkok Joe’s may perform an ancient Songkran ceremony to renew their spirits. Songkran festival has evolved into a family gathering day, with youngsters pouring water to older family member to show respect. Girls help their mothers and grandmothers prepare big pots of noodles for family and friends who visit, since eating long noodles during Songkran is believed to increase chances of a long life and prosperity.

Enjoy family-style Thai special menu designed by Chef/Owner Aulie Bunyarataphan to promote longevity and good health. The menu will also feature some items that are rare and never been offered to American palate before.
